The castle at sunset is absolutely stunning with the pink. I don’t know how to explain it better than it feels very “hot” midday when the sun directly hits it.

Is the goal to make this look like DCA's Guardians Tower?

Disney Cinderella: Mission DECORATE
If they'd had taken a "less is more" approach; the castle would have almost had an "understated elegance" about it. I'm fearful of what other additions they have planned. Cinderella Castle is starting to look tacky.

Following the concept art, the final ribbon has been installed.
All that remains is the 50th Medallion.

Aside from having something to talk about for the bloggers and influencers and etc, maybe if things stay on track the way they are, we may get a “soft” start to the 50the post Memorial Day, pre 4th of July? Only reason that they did this so quick and so ahead of schedule in my opinion. What are you hearing/thinking?

Yes and I'm also bothered that all the ribbons appear to be the same width while they should be thinner as they are on the higher turrets, as to maintain the forced perspective.Let me preface this comment with the fact that the anniversary installation looks great, a nice regal decor package.
However, is it just me or does it bother anyone else that there are two spires that have a single ribbon swirl while all the other spires that are decorated have crisscrossing ribbon? I don’t think it would catch my attention as much if both spires with the single swirl weren’t on the same side of the castle.

I like it. It's almost gaudy (but, IMO, it's not). I weigh that out with: "Yeah, it's supposed to be over the top as it's the 50th!". If they left this stuff up and it was the 55th I'd be more in the camp of, "This really needs to go away, now."
The "rose gold" (kinda pink) doesn't bother me.
One thing, and I bet I'm in the minority here, I'd like to see is for them to go back to the original colors and, instead of having the LED floodlights set to "cycle" (which always bothered me - it makes no sense. It's not telling a story), just have them set to white as the original castle lit up at night (in white) was really majestic to me.
Different LED colors for different events like Halloween, Independence Day, or Christmas? No problems. Having them just cycle? (Maybe they no longer do that - I haven't been in ≈5 years) it makes no sense and is distracting.

The castle lighting hasn’t just cycled for many years
Not since MSEP left in 2016 I believe,. There's no reason it can't cyle now and up to 10 or 5 minutes before Fireworks when those return!
